  • Networking fundamentals
  • Kubernetes-based service orchestration
  • Production experience with Kubernetes, service meshes (e.g., Envoy), and autoscaling systems
  • Deep expertise with Redis, Memcached, or similar solutions, including clustering, durability configurations, client-side connection patterns, and performance tuning

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate OpenAI’s multi-tenant caching platform used across inference, identity, quota, and product experiences.
  • Define the long-term vision and roadmap for caching as a core infra capability, balancing performance, durability, and cost.
  • Collaborate with other infra teams (e.g., networking, observability, databases) and product teams to ensure our caching platform meets their needs.

Other

  • 5+ years of experience building and scaling distributed systems, with a strong focus on caching, load balancing, or storage systems
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy balancing pragmatic engineering with long-term technical excellence
